Water makes me nautious



Recommended Posts

2+ months post-op. Am concerned this is not going to change. Can mix SF powder and am ok. Just wondered if anyone had this issue and if it went away?

Water tastes odd to me now so I use mio drops every day.

I'm 11 months out tomorrow. I had trouble with Water from day 1! My surgeon said to me that first day to have cordial in the water as it will help. In saying that since month 6 I have been fine with plain water. But I still have to have ice in all cold drinks. I just can't have cold out of the fridge temp drinks, they have to be icy!!!

Almost seven months out and I still have a problem with plain Water. I get nauseated, bloated and feel very constricted.

I love to drink the new freezes at Taco Bell. They don't upset my stomach at all. I know it's not Water but it's a little treat for me once in a while.

I can only drink plain Water if its really cold too - I've been having crystal light etc in my Water daily since coming out of the hospital. I know its not ideal, but I figure that its better than struggling to take in the Fluid...

I was dehydrated yesterday and the day before as I had been ill - boy that was nasty! get Fluid in any way you can is my advice.

I get nauseated from plain Water too. I loved water before so it bums me out. I've added the crystal light, kool aid drops and it's helped. It also helps to have something on my stomach. I know we have to wait for 45 min to 1 hour after eating to start drinking. But if my stomach is empty and I'm trying to drink, I will eat a piece if cheese and it helps. Empty stomach + water = misery.

But on the water side of things my surgeon said get ur fluids in how ever u can :)

I'm the same - 30 mins either side -that's what I've been following for the past 18 months anyway :)

My Center says 30 before and 45 after. I cheat a bit. Sometimes I take small sips with meals. If I get busy at work I won't drink for 2 hours after. I'm finally able to take bigger drinks. I think fluid goals are the hardest to reach.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
